The Hymn is usually sung to the tune of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic", and at Skule™ it is typically sung at every appearance of the Mighty [[Skule Cannon]], whereupon the Cannon is fired at the conclusion of the Hymn. After the Cannon firing, students at Skule™ usually break out into the [[Skule Yell]]. At Christmas time, the [[Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad]] has been known to sing the song to the tune of Good King Wenceslas. | The Hymn is usually sung to the tune of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic", and at Skule™ it is typically sung at every appearance of the Mighty [[Skule Cannon]], whereupon the Cannon is fired at the conclusion of the Hymn.

During [[Godiva Week]] at Skule™, many [[Godiva's Crown]] competitors have been known to show off their mastery in memorizing obscure verses, and many have invented their own. Students have also asked for verses to be invented at other Skule™ events, particularly as part of the [[Havenger Scunt]]. | |||
'''Disclaimer''': Many old verses of the song are no longer used due to offensive language, antiquated ideas, and inappropriate ideals. These verses ''do not'' reflect the current beliefs and values of engineers and our community. In recent years, the engineering community has striven to become more conscious of the effect of language, particularly in cheers and yells such as Godiva's Hymn. As we have evolved as a community, we recognize that these verses should not be sung again. The original version of the hymn remains accessible ''only'' to acknowledge the faults of the origin of our engineering culture and to better understand why they should never be repeated. | |||
